Weymouth away, 4th december

Post by ministander »

Anyone travelling to this by train is in for a long trip!!
Torquay to Exeter, change, Exeter to Yeovil, change, not only change train, but change station!!
Yeovil to Yeovil pen mill, onwards to Weymouth!!, and the same returning.
just booked it, and taxi between stations in Yeovil, better be worth the hassle!! :clap:

Did you look at the option of taking the Paddington train, getting off at Castle Cary then take the Weymouth train direct from there. Saves changing stations at Yeovil but don’t know how timings work out.

Also just a quick warning. The line between Yeovil and Weymouth is currently closed due to planned work on the tracks and isn’t due to reopen until 4th December. Hopefully the reopening won’t be delayed. There is a replacement bus service but this will add further time to the journey.

May be worth hanging about in Weymouth until 20:20 to avoid a 2 hour wait at castle cary

United expect the Yellow Army to take 600 Fans to the Bob Lucas Stadium for a game which both sides will be desperate to win.

Weymouth have lost their last 3 games conceding 11 goals and scoring just 3.

United have had a good week to work hard on their game and Gary and Aaron will want to see the team display the sort of attacking flair they showed in the last 10 minutes against Halifax.

Personally I hope Armstrong and Lolas start and we play 2 wingers who stick to the touch line and cross the ball into the box at every opportunity.

This is the type of game we need to be winning so lets hope the footballing gods do not serve up debateable decisions which cost us dearly at Barnet and Aldershot.

My heart says 2-1 to the Gulls my head says a draw.

Mrs Dawlish and I predict a high scoring game with Torquay winning 3-2.

Sadly I don't believe we have the wide men to hurt them and if we were to play two up front and two wide we will again loose the middle of the park battle, my biggest concern of late.

Packing the midfield must be our first priority, we need ball winners in there, at both Barnet and Aldershot we were beaten to nearly every second ball, this needs fixing.

dawlishmatt I got my figure of 600 fans going to Weymouth from Torquay Talk contributor Danny Burnell.

You can read his post on TUFC Links yesterday posted at 12.04. He predicts a minimum of 600.

Hope we start with at least lolos and Armstrong up front, no reason why we can't get at them and attack from minute 1

Armstrong on the bench with Homan/Lolos up front. Has Armstrong taken a bit of a knock?Image

Armstrong - I would guess only a knock to his confidence and Gary managing him.

Evans - Missing again, becoming worrying.
